# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Muzio Clementi was born in Rome on 23 January 1752 and caught the attention of Sir Peter Beckford, who brought him to England as a teenager to develop his talent. He settled in London and toured Europe from that base, crossing paths with Mozart in 1781 for a formal piano competition. Drawing on Scarlatti's harpsichord techniques and the classical structures of Haydn and J.C. Bach, Clementi forged a fluid, technically demanding legato style that became the foundation for a generation: John Field, Johann Baptist Cramer, Ignaz Moscheles, and Carl Czerny all studied with him, and his influence reached Beethoven and Chopin. Beyond performing and teaching, he manufactured his own line of pianos and ran a publishing house that kept contemporary and earlier works in circulation. In his lifetime only Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Rossini stood higher in reputation, but his name faded through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He died in London on 10 March 1832.
